CM of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee has announced on 6th Dec that the state will be setting up a special panel to stop child trafficking.

Chaired by the Parliamentary Affairs minister Partha Chatterjee, the committee will constitute a Chief Secretary, Home Secretary, DGP and officers and members of opposition parties Congress and CPI(M).
